Holy crap. How did you manage to pack so much stupidity into three sentences? You've just branded yourself for life.
Lakers = 9

"Lakers"Lakers = 9
Not "Los Angeles" Lakers. The franchise "Lakers."
14 les.
Thank You, and the discussion isn't even close. He thinks too much of himself to make such analogies.
Sig worthy.
Even if he was trying to talk , the Spurs have still won 4 les and he wouldn't have had anything to say if they hadn't.This y , steroided self-proclaimed "best rapper of all-time" is comparing his career to an NBA dynasty; go figure.....
" It's like trying to compare the Spurs to the Lakers or Celtics; yes, the Spurs are very successful and have a lot of championships. But you can't compare them to the Celtics or to the Lakers. I'm on a whole other level. A lot of this guys (the other rappers) are the Spurs. And it's no disrespect."
I hope Duncan & Co read that ..........
It's a cutdown that isn't really a cutdown. So SA has won only 4 les. I'll take it
How long has it been since he has been relevant. The only reason he gets any respect from anyone is for the simple fact that he has been around a while. He is only a notch above average at best as an MC.
Only an idiot would compare LL Cool J to Ice Cube.Actually I do. I know that Rakim only had one hit album. LL had numerous hits. My guess is that he has more hits than any other rapper out there. The point that was being made is you cant compare these new school rappers to legends, just like you cant compare these new school winning teams to teams that have been winning for decades. Only an idiot can argue that. I dont listen to too much rap these days, but Im willing to bet that LL and Ice Cube have put out more successful albums than any other rappers out there. LL is the Celtics, and Ice Cube is the Lakers. The Spurs are Master P
Hits mean absolutely nothing. If radio hits make you a legend then there are a lot of mediocre rappers out there today that are legends.Actually I do. I know that Rakim only had one hit album. LL had numerous hits. My guess is that he has more hits than any other rapper out there. The point that was being made is you cant compare these new school rappers to legends, just like you cant compare these new school winning teams to teams that have been winning for decades.

LL is the Celtics, and Ice Cube is the Lakers. The Spurs are Master P
And Master P did a lot for the industry. Mainly for the emergence of Southern Hip-Hop.
If you want to compare the Spurs to a rapper, it would be Ras Kass or BDP - i.e., an all-time great who everyone who doesn't know the game sleeps on.
Rass Kass is good but I prefer K-Rino or Immortal Technique.
A few successful singles every few years does not equate to successful albums. There are more albums that flop in that mix than there are ones that are successful.Actually I do. I know that Rakim only had one hit album. LL had numerous hits. My guess is that he has more hits than any other rapper out there.

Uh, no. While the part about the Lakers and Celtics is true, other than the 13 year Jordan era, the Bulls have been . They barely crack the top 10 all time team win % at .512. Detroit isn't in the top 10. San Antonio is second, LA first, and the Celtics are third. In LoBs, Boston is first, LA second, Chicago third, and SA fourth. There are only two teams with more than one LoB that have never lost a Finals: Chicago at 6-0 and SA at 4-0.
SA has the highest win % in Finals games at 16-6 (.727). Chicago is second at 24-11 (.686).
As a historical franchise, Chicago can't hold a candle to SA. Chicago was good for 13 years and great for 8. SA has been good for 32 years and great for 10. SA has only ever missed the playoffs 5 times. Chicago has missed that many times since Jordan retired. If not for the 13 year Jordan era, Chicago would be NBA historical bottom feeders, probably bottom 10 overall.
Ras Kass was the best in his prime....or at least my favorite. Light years ahead of any phase of L.L.
Oh come on. LL is right. The analogy is accurate. The Spurs are not in the same conversation as Celtics and Lakers. And further, not in the same conversation as Jordan's Bulls.
Lakers and Celtics, like LL, have been winning for a LONG time. Spurs have won all their championships in the past decade.
LL is an absolute freak to STILL be in the rap game.
Actually, the comeback album in 1998 ("The 18th Letter") garnered a good amount of critical praise and had some success commercially...he'd have more but he refuses to conform with the garbage out their today unlike some rappers who are just happy to be seen.
Sorry dude. You can cherry-pick your stats as much as you want, but those two THREEPEATS by Chicago put them above the Spurs.
Ras Kass in his prime was not to be tested...by ANYONE.
Nope. Spurs are Public Enemy.LL is the Celtics, and Ice Cube is the Lakers. The Spurs are Master P
80's Celtics = Eminem
2000-2003 Fakers = Shaq
W G A F
lakers = biggie smalls
spurs = 2pac
From a more unbias, rational standpoint, you are right in that you cannot take away from the fiscal success (even if the album sales may have been inflated a bit, and women have purchased his music for the sound of his voice and not the lyrics he has had ghostwritten for him as time as went on), but Rakim basically created the prototype the modern day format of rap...even though he doesn't get the praise he deserves because he is like Tim Duncan in nature.
LL's a dumbass who was only liked by the same idiots who buy Britney Spears and like that. He's the Phoenix Suns of hip-hop.
